“I can see, I can feel, I can know, I can be, I am in everything, and everything is in me.”

BIO

RunawayHorse is the moniker for Austin, Texas-based and New Mexico born singer-songwriter Mari Tirsa. Together with an eclectic assortment of seasoned Texas musicians, she creates a unique folk/Americana sound that draws the listener into the forlorn and majestic ambiance of the American frontier.

Mari’s poetic songwriting is reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and her ethereal vocals echo those of Allison Krauss. She balances her voice with a driving rhythm section; classic folk, fingerpicking, acoustic guitar; gentle male harmonies; and Alt-Country electric guitar. An additional layer of dream/shoegaze style pedals, synth, and vocal effects bathe you in the nature-inspired perfume that is Runaway Horse’s dream Americana world.

“Out of Austin comes this sensational female Americana artist Mari Tirsa (aka Runaway Horse), whom released a 5 tracks counting EP Beautiful Blue… The music is calm, very melodic and breathing the classic Americana sound, but still sounding fresh and modern. Just listen to the absolutely beautiful The Well. Do not miss this artist!” – Strutterzine Holland

“[Beautiful Blue EP] is perfect for those long cold nights in front of the fire in a frontiersman’s log cabin.” – Adam Jenkins, FATEA Records
